Bono's shades
Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
As I'm sure most of you know, Red Hill Mining Town was originally supposed to be the first single off The Joshua Tree, but Bono couldn't sing it live so With or Without You was chosen as the first single instead. So I was wondering - would the album have been the monster it was sales-wise if Red Hill Mining Town had been the first single? Was it really WOWY that pushed them over the top? Or would RHMT have been a strong enough single to get people really, really excited about the album? Or was the level of anticipation for the album so high that it would have sold like hot cakes regardless of what the first single was?
